Summary
June 24 is the date Vanilla Ice said he hopes to perform at President Donald Trump’s Washington rally tied to the U.S. 250th birthday celebration, though he said he does not know if he is still wanted on the bill.
The uncertainty follows the scrapping of the planned “Freedom 250” concert and a broader pullback by musicians from the “Great American State Fair” after performers were announced on X.
Vanilla Ice — Robert Matthew Van Winkle, best known for “Ice, Ice Baby” — said he will be in Washington regardless and called the event a nonpolitical celebration of America’s birthday.
In Instagram and TMZ comments, he argued music should unite people rather than divide them, saying he would play for fans anywhere.
